Yup. Have these. Tried others too but no help.

True, but the EUC charset doesn't seem to display well on my VT's. In case 
it wasn't clear I don't use X-windows, I either log in at the machine itself 
on a VT or telnet in. When I do an ls the files usually show up as a bunch 
of ???? and other chars. An ls --show-control-character (I think that's the 
option) makes the files list as a bunch of strange EUC chars.

I sure hope there is ^_^ I have a *lot* of files to manage.
